GitOps at Enterprise Scale, with Elad Cohen

At enterprise scale, a deployment pipeline that runs Helm upgrades directly against Kubernetes hides drift, mixes configuration with CI logic, and makes the last pipeline run the source of truth. Elad Cohen explains how WSC Sports moved from Azure DevOps to GitHub Actions and redesigned delivery around Git and Argo CD. The resulting platform separates builds from deployments, keeps service configuration in values files, and continuously reconciles clusters. In this interview: Why CI should change Git instead of the cluster How ApplicationSets create main and shadow deployments from one values file How AppProjects scope permissions and route alerts by team Why reusable Helm contracts make customization compound across services Sponsor This episode is sponsored by LearnKube.

At enterprise scale, a deployment pipeline that runs Helm upgrades directly against Kubernetes hides drift, mixes configuration with CI logic, and makes the last pipeline run the source of truth.

Elad Cohen explains how WSC Sports moved from Azure DevOps to GitHub Actions and redesigned delivery around Git and Argo CD. The resulting platform separates builds from deployments, keeps service configuration in values files, and continuously reconciles clusters.

In this interview:

  • Why CI should change Git instead of the cluster

  • How ApplicationSets create main and shadow deployments from one values file

  • How AppProjects scope permissions and route alerts by team

  • Why reusable Helm contracts make customization compound across services
